Everything had turned for you so fast.
One moment you'd been stuck staring off at the starry expanse that now surrounded you, eyes sparkling back at them as a long buried memory of stargazing on the roof of your house alongside your brother resurfaced fresh in your brain, like it'd been yesterday.
A pleasant thought that almost manages to summon a smile to your face, before it's quickly dashed away by a now familiar voice.
"Howdy, there! I'm Twinkly! Twinkly the St-"
[ACT] -> ❤️X-SLASH
You'd done it without thinking, without waiting for your whole self's permission, and swung your antique knife as if it were a sword.
Only the first strike manages to land on the accursed thing, sending it reeling into the air in surprise, but only for a moment before it's faux smile was quickly replaced by the monstrous grin you knew it was hiding, different world or not. That voice was unmistakable.
"Oh, you're a real killer, aren't you? Already know the rules!"
And that was what led you to the now, fighting for your life with a wild look in your eye as you faced the thing all by yourself this time, your friends having ended up separated from you by the cruel hand of fate, with only the SOUL to aid you against it.
You'd certainly been proving much more of a fight than it ever could have anticipated, but only a couple turns in, and your inexperience with battling alone was starting to show. You wouldn't last.
Blood pumping as it were, all that spirit wouldn't do you good without the power to end this decisively, which you didn't have.
There was no one to call for, with nothing but space surrounding you. Yet, still, it was all you could think to do. All you could do.
❤️*You called for help.
